But in any case, an initial CVV will always need glue no matter what. The only exeption is when followed by a single CCV rafsi. (Lojban morphology has exceptions for almost any rule you can think of, and the exceptions will in turn usually have exceptions too.) > In my proposal, a rafsi that immediately precedes a fu'ivla rafsi must end in > a consonant, so if you want to use a cmavo with no CVC rafsi, you have to use > {zei}. I hadn't thought of {ba'oryglauka}; if it works, and all cmavo that > have rafsi have a CVV or CVC rafsi, it would be a way to make lujvo with > them. (I'll check later. I have an errand to run.) "dza" and "jve" appear to be the only CCV rafsi for cmavo, and both have other forms, namely "dav" and "jev". We need an additional rule: when a rafsi fu'ivla is preceded by a CVV rafsi, this rafsi will sometimes have to be y-separated from its preceding rafsi, if any. For example: {bardyba'oryglauka} for the lujvo formed from {barda-banro-glauka}. {braba'oryglauka} is a lujvo formed from two fu'ivla {braba'orV} and {glauka}, not from {braba'o} and {glauka}. The "sometimes" needs to be worked out in more detail. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/
